A Beautiful Faith.

Queen Kapiolani of the Sandwich
Islands has lately visited the United
States. Martha V. Sked in the
american gives the following interest
ing facts which she gathered from
the Saturday Globe concerning our
distinguished guest.
She is member of the Episcopal
church in Honolulu.
Though of high rank when the mis-
sionaries found her she was a desolate
intemperAte heather. Impressed with
their teaching she became a devoted
christian. Her traits of character en-
inently fit her for a leader and her
whole interest is bound up in her peo-
pie.
Among the most tenible superstis
tions Of this people is one OF the god
dess Pele whose home they suppose to
be in the great volcano of Mamma Loa.
This volcano is never passed without
the greatest honor and the offering of
sacrifices. The queen determined to
remove this weight OF superstition
from her beloved people by going into
that home of Pele "The House of
Everlasting Burning" as it is called by
the natives, and there worship the
true God. Her husband and friends
did all in their powre to turn her from
her purpose, butin vain the Globe says {:
Proceeding on foot over the rough
lava road, most difficult to travel, the
Queen and her party at last approach
ed the vast pit i'll which lay the great
fiery lake of motion rock. The strong
sulphur gases enveloped them, and
the ground was shaken with the pent
up forces of the volcano, the largest
open, active volcano in the world 1t
was a place of awful sublimity and
grandeur. The intrepid woman, i'm
PEELED by a loyal devotion to the one
Jehovah, whom she had accepted as
the God OF Nature, advanced to the
crater. Here she was met by the
priestess OF Pele, uttering a strange
jargon of words, that, to the frightened
people who passed that way, were
of terrible import. She warned Kap-
iolani away under pain of the dis
pleasure Of the dread goddess, exhibit
ing her credentials to test her mission.
Kapiolani, the bravest Of the timid
group, waved her aside, and, disre-
garding all warnings approached the
fearful brink Hating whore the eye
of all could take in the scene that lay
before them, from the grand summit
of of Manua Loa, 1900 feet in high
air, to the vast gulf that lay at their
feet l 900 feet deep, with hercompany
and a devoted missionary that had
come to meet her, she descended still
lower into the crater, and then, amid

Is it Right?
By JOHN W. KIRTON.

Is it right for men who profess and
call themselves Christians to pray,
"Lead us not into temptation" and
then needlessly expose themselves to
the influence of drinks which have
tempted and ruined thousands?
Is it right for men to ask God to
"Give us this day our daily bread" "
and then support a system that Ii
censes men to destroy the good grain
by converting it into body and soul
destroying drink?
Is it right to build churches,
chapels, aud schools to help save the
people, and at the same time license
men and women to open shops in
which liqudrs are sold which will de-
stroy the pSopleH
Is it right, to license a man to sell
drink which viii make people drunk,
and then fine men and women for
getting drunk?
Is it right 20 license men to make
paupers and criminals, and then tax
sober and virtuoy,s people to pay rates
to keep them2
Is it right to open a public-house
and beer-shop TO teach vice, and then
compel rate-p1gers to pay for schools
to be opened to teach Virtue?
Is it right to torlvsa revenue out OF
system which demlorllizes and de-
grades the peopleY
Is it right TO force a ipublic-house or
beer-shop upon neigFborhood when
the people who live thSre are opposed
to its being opened2
Is it right for people to wish the
temperance cause success, and at the
same time continue to drink and sup
port the liquor-traffic.

Baltimore American.
On Saturday afternoon an express
wagon was seen to drive furiously
along the road toware Red Top.
When the house was reached the
driver jumped from his seat and has
tened to the doorway with a package
about sixteen inches square on his
shoulder. 1t came from Dr. William
Martin, OF Cowlesville, N. Y, and
contained the feeces of two fine full
blooded merino lambs. The animals
were descended from the flock of
Grandfather Folsom, and their wool
is as fine as silk.
1t would puzzle the uninitiated to
discover what was to be done with so
much wool, but it is learned that the
first lady of the land had bought a
pair OF cards while in Forestport re-
Gently, and that she proposes to have
some winter stockings for Grover,
which will surely prevent another at
tact Of the rheumatics, which troubled
him so much year ago. All Saturday
afternoon Mrs. Cleveland remained
at Red Top. She was engaged in
carding wool under the direction of
Mrs. Folsom, who learned when a girl
all the accomplishments which were
the fashion in our grandmothers' days.
1t will take some time to card sufii-
cient for one pair of stockings for the
President, and after the carding is
finished the yarn will have to be spun,
so that it will be weeks before Grover
can try on the first pair OF hose.
Mrs, Cleveland hopes to get one pair
done before the President starts on

will not attempt to operate it further
under the Prohibition Law.
1t is stated upon good authority
that President Cleveland has ordered
If the law against Sunday liquor-sell-
ing In the National Capitol is not en-

Flity-tive counties of Iowa had

Empty jails mean bread in the cup

Prohibition has largely increased

of liquor.

that the liquor-sellers of Richmond.

baths, as requiaed by law. On the
Monday before they closed, thirty
eight. persons were in the police court,
charged with drunkenness. On the

was in the court, and on the second
none. Yes rum-selling is what makes
police courts necessary, and when it

ed occasionally in those continuous
debauehes which are lightly and fa-
miliarly called sprees.
A spree, as it is practiced ins our
large cities, is simply roaming from
one clearinghouse to another, from
one haunt of vice to another, until
the wretched slave of appetite has ex-
pended all his money or all his
strength ; then he sinks home.
On recent Saturday night, John
Engberg, to his mothers grief and
terror, did not come home at all. She
needed his wages for the purchases OF
Saturday evening, but she needed far
more to know that her son was safe.
On Sunday, he did not appear The
evening of Monday arrived, and still
he came not,
The mother then sent in search Of
him her younger son, Louis, who, af-
ter long hunt, found him in a saloon
in dirty clothes, and much under the
influence of drink, although not intox-
icated.
Louis entreated his brother to go
home, and told him howdeeply troubled
his mother was by his long absence.
At last, the wretched young man
he was but twenty-five years Of age
promised to go home with his brother
on one condition. He used words
like these, ~ will go home with you
if you will stay down stairs until l
have been up stairs and seen mother.
I'll fix it with mother, and then it
will be all over"
They went home together, and car
ried out the agreement. John went
up stairs and stood face to face with
his mother.
"Where are your good clothes and
wages?" she asked.
"They are gone," said he.
"You are going, too," was her reply
The young man drew from his pock-
ct revolver, shot his mother with it,
and then shot himself Upon being
carried to the station-house, he told
what he had done without the least at
tempt to soften the. e.frightful narrative,
and added these words "She was the
best of mothers, and I'E glad l shot
her."
The captain of police said it was a
poor way of showing his appreciation
Of his mothers goodness. He replied,
"Its the best thing ever did. Ever
since my fathers death, when was
nine years old, she has had trouble,
and caused most OF it. / have put
her out of her misery"
Upon being told by neighbor that
his mother could not recover, he said,
II am glad OF it,"
We commend this awful story to
the reflection OF those boys who haye
taken the first steps that lead to such
abysses OF sin and shame and crime
